To Brian Lamb, Yacht Rock borders on religion. Part mockumentary, it was a web video series that Brian has raved about for almost as I have known him. I won’t even try to explain it, leave that to Wikipedia. And to me shame, I’ve not watched it. That’s on my homework list; Brian has done […]
The work I am part of at Virtual Connecting might be described as “hybridizing” (oi 20 lashes for making that a word) the conference attendance experience- mixing the virtual/remote and the on-site/F2F one. As a slight twist on this, I was part of something that was a hybrid of the mode of presentation. I’ve done […]
This is a tale of how my curiosity gets fed and pulled into unexpected places on the internet (yes the one that apparently died again in 2015). This is a tale of how my plans for a “productive” morning get nudged later as I cannot stop seeking connections. This is a tale of why my […]
Some ideas just rattle around the grey matter until something triggers a reminder. Bud Hunt wrote yesterday with a fine metaphor On Constraints, Road Maps, and Driving Directions as he thinks about how to balance the structure vs looseness in curriculum design: One way that’s productive in thinking about constraints that are helpful and still […]
Yesterday I climbed high up a snowy mountain to seek out Ol Hatchet Jack (sadly lacking a Wikpedia entry), the frozen mountain man. Jack has not been heard from on over a year, but he’s still there. His rifle is gone, some other mountain man must have nabbed it, but he did have a new […]
I do not always look at my full twitter stream, but am both glad and saddened to read this message today: Still reeling from the news that my friend and colleague @jaycross has passed on. A big influence on me and the field of elearning. Vale. — Clark Quinn (@Quinnovator) November 7, 2015 The photo […]
Okay, I will let this go soon. But I wanted to get the word of Facebook’s shameful practices of allowing fake profiles to be created for scamming purpose and their opaqueness of reporting processes. SO I re-wrote my previous catfishing posts into a new article onto the Big Stage of Medium.com: Timothy Boostrom is Not […]
EDUCAUSE. The Big One. I’ve not been to the Big EDUCAUSE since 2004, in Denver. Back then I had more hair, less weight, a clunkier laptop, a blog only 1 year old. They were heady times. My visual memories are the massive main auditorium, having to wade through the vendor hall to get coffee, and […]
Put a big ole squishy love twitter hearting favorite here! The talk I did last month in Puerto Rico, for which I have already published the notes and stuff, is now published. Yes, I am now one of those people. Associated with the enterprise that is a Massive, Money-Soaked Orgy of Self-Congratulatory Futurism. But that’s […]
Via my last post of Facebook Catfishing a commenter led me to this facebook profile of “Timothy Boostrom” who is not using my photo on his profile, but liberally sprinkled them (me) in his own photos: Many of the photos have captions and comments purporting to be in Scotland on July 7, 2015: When in […]
